And we’re looking for talent who feel the same: people who want to leave the planet better than they found it, those who don’t shy away from humanity’s challenges but are determined to help solve them.

AMD is powering the next generation of supercomputing, high-performance computing, cloud, and AI. Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or creating go-to-market plans, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward.

THE ROLE: 

AMD Datacenter Firmware team is currently looking for an enthusiastic engineer who is passionate about server products and eager to contribute to the EPYC product line, helping AMD transform the x86 server market. 

We are looking for an engineer who can ensure customers can leverage our EPYC designs and collaborate with SoC architects to deliver scalable, robust, high-quality, competitive, and innovative server platform BIOS solutions while minimizing time-to-market. This role also includes applying AI-assisted development methods to enhance firmware design, implementation, and validation efficiency.

THE PERSON: 

A successful candidate will bring deep technical expertise in developing firmware solutions, strong problem-solving ability, excellent communication skills, and the ability to influence cross-functional teams. You will need a collaborative mindset to work closely with silicon design, platform design, and validation teams, along with the organizational skills to manage issues proactively and communicate risks effectively.

This role involves contributing independently to technical development efforts and representing the firmware team in internal and external collaborations. You should have proven software methodologies, firmware design proficiency, and the confidence to work across multiple teams while maintaining focus on quality and on-time delivery.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: 

• Drive AI-assisted firmware development by applying emerging AI tools and techniques to accelerate coding, debugging, validation, and automation, improving engineering efficiency, code quality, and time-to-market

• Collaborate on end-to-end firmware flows and component integration, communicating a clear understanding of technical design and implementation
• Design and develop platform BIOS based on silicon and board features
• Participate in triage, debug, and validation processes across the product lifecycle, partnering with silicon design, platform design, and debug teams to address system issues
• Write high-quality, scalable code in C and/or ASM to deliver BIOS solutions for server platforms aligned with customer needs and internal objectives 

 PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: 

• 5+ years experience in BIOS, firmware, or system software development with solid knowledge of x86 system architecture
• Excellent C programming skills, with x86 assembly experience a plus
• Knowledge of server hardware interfaces (e.g., Ethernet, SATA, AHCI, DDR5, PCIe, SPI, I2C, NVMe)
• Familiarity with server BIOS architecture and industry standards (e.g., ACPI, SMBIOS, PCIe)
• Experience with AMI AptioV BIOS highly desirable  

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: 

• Bachelors or Masters degree (preferred) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent
